Simon Property Group Shares Fall 1.02% on Slowing Mall Occupancy and Rising Rates; $340M Volume Ranks 369th

On October 1, 2025, Simon Property Group (SPG) closed with a 1.02% decline, trading on a volume of $340 million, ranking 369th in market activity. The REIT’s performance was influenced by shifting investor sentiment toward commercial real estate assets amid evolving economic conditions.

Analysts noted that recent earnings reports highlighted mixed results in retail leasing, with key mall properties showing slower-than-expected occupancy growth. Meanwhile, rising interest rates continued to weigh on valuation multiples for income-producing assets, pressuring the sector broadly.

To set up an accurate back-test we need a few extra details: Market universe (all U.S. listed common stocks or a narrower selection), re-balancing convention (close-to-close or open-to-close trading), transaction cost assumptions, and performance metrics (e.g., cumulative return, volatility, Sharpe ratio). Once confirmed, the test can be executed from January 1, 2022, to the current date.
